Welcome to Locked on MLB, your daily national podcast covering Major League Baseball as part of the Locked on Podcast Network hosted by Tommy Stokke.
It's the Friday edition of Locked on MLB, so start your weekend off with our podcast to get you ready for baseball. In Segment 1, we take a look at three series this weekend worth watching, as the Houston Astros visit the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals renew their rivalry (wait, it is still a rivalry right?) and the Washington Nationals meet the Philadelphia Phillies in an NL East battle.
Speaking of the NL East, Joe Nocco joins the show in Segment 2 to discuss the New York Mets coming off a sweep at the hands of the Atlanta Braves. What's the biggest concern for the Mets? How big of a priority should the catching position be? Where do the Mets fall in the suddenly competitive NL East? Plus, what's next for Matt Harvey and how should fans react to him? 
Segment 3 is a look at Albert Pujols as he approaches 3,000 career hits, how he's judged now and how he'll eventually be remembered.
